Maybe. But telltale has made it clear that we should keep our saves from season 1. So they'll obviously play a roll. And for someone who doesn't have any season one saves, I'd assume they'd be generated for you. Otherwise, those saves wouldn't be there, and you'd have an incomplete experience. Which isn't what telltale is about

Well that's what I meant. If you've never played S1/400days, you'd get the generic start. But if not, you get the tailor made experience. If you played the whole first season but not 400 days, you'd get a generic 400 days save, while your first season would be used, and vice versa.

If you just skip to Episode 2 or later, the game will randomly generate past choices for you. If you play Episode 1 and part way through Episode 2, then choose to skip straight to Episode 4, it will ask if you want it to just generate random choices from your most recent save. I assume it will do the same for Season 2.

I would assume it would start the same as if you skip episodes, and it would give you an option to generate choices from skipped episodes. Not sure what happens if you select "no", though. I also probably wouldn't recommend playing season 2 without at least playing season 1 first.
